HOW TO USE THE MACHINE
5.4.6 E
MPTYING THE GRASS
-
CATCHER
This operation can only be done with the blades disengaged,
otherwise the engine stops.
Do not let the grass-catcher become too full as this may block the collector chan-
nel. When the grass-catcher is full there is an intermittent audible warning. At this
point:
– lower the engine speed;
– go into neutral (N) (
☛
4.22 or 4.32) and stop
forward movement;
– disengage the blades (
☛
4.9) and the audible
signal will stop;
– engage the parking brake on slopes;
– pull out the lever (1) and tip up the grass-catch-
er to empty it;
– close up the grass-catcher so that it hooks
onto the pawl stop (2).
At times the audible warning
may be heard at the moment of engaging the
blade even when the grass-catcher has been
emptied. This is due to grass-cuttings left on the
sensor of the micro-switch. To stop the signal,
disengage the blade and then immediately
engage it again
Always keep the sensor (3) free of grass-cuttings.
5.4.7 U
NBLOCKING THE COLLECTOR CHANNEL
Cutting very tall or wet grass, particularly at too
high speed, can cause the collector channel to become blocked. Should this hap-
pen, it will be necessary to:
– stop forward movement immediately, disengage the blades and stop the
engine;
– take off the grass-catcher or stone-guard;
– remove the accumulated cuttings, reaching them from the exit of the collector
channel.
This job must only be performed with the engine turned
off.
